Uh oh… somewhat appears like showing Sony the lines they shouldn’t cross.

I’d like to know who funded this “study”

Well. No one likes Gold diggers.

I bought it on sale now, played around 2 hours and what can I say… it’s… stale.

I believe no one is and it’s kinda Auto-Pilot of preventing bs from happening to yourself

Well. Officially you can opt out from crawlers of any kind. Just need to put the right code in a .htaccess file (if this is still standard. I didn’t code any production ready since 15 years).

But I have my doubts about that…

Lots of people who are designing websites and webapps are just out for the design. Usability went in the background for whatever reason.

But more and more people are getting more aware of user friendly UI and functions for people with disabilities. But yet it’s not the highest priority sadly.

Baldur’s Gate 3 and my buddy. Damn loot ninja

As a kid I ate a rowanberry. Believe that must have been it. Otherwise almost a carcrash on highway, when someone pulled over straight to the left lane, where we we’re to make space, when the vehicle entered the highway.

Got ya. You can’t make people always agree with you. Sometimes your opinion is just unpopular. But it is important to speak with each other in a proper manner. Maybe we learn from each other.

Never go the way of people pleasing. Be kind and you will receive it.

Feel you. This is my home now.

Yup. Wikipedia is a good example for an instance that solely exists to support people.

There are plenty sites of this. Take a look at some websites that are teaching you skills without asking for money and so on.

That’s how I remember the internet. Sharing knowledge. Of course bigger sites need to make ends meet somehow and that fine with me. But as you already said - more more more.

Well. Those corporations took their money and threw it in. Basically fusions of different services. Besides that you have a lot of clickbaits and cheap stuff like dropshops and so on.

You gotta be very picky on what services you use. Lemmy f.e. is amazing for me. It does not feel like someone wants to get money off me.

The internet basically became what the analog world was before and it’s anything else than amazing.

Edit: in short terms: Capitalism took the internet from the people.

Lots are here. I joined a while ago on a different server and the content was slow. But by now it’s like always fresh content.

I can tell you the traffic rose up.

Give that guy a pizza party!

Absolutely.

Ofc they use the data to make money. But there are not so many rules set to it. It feels like governments slept in this area for the past 20 years and it’s ridiculous.

We’re so deep in its impossible to really resign from it anymore.

This. Its on a lot of languages like this. The less you understand, the better.

I believe if you completely new (like after deleting cookies) they will make you agree to the terms and agreements before you can use the service.

It all comes down to one thing:

You agreed to the terms and agreements. You don’t have to.

But in general… imo… it should be absolutely forbidden to sell data and governments should finally do something and stop sleeping.

Absolutely agree. I am afraid of where capitalism will bring us one day If I am being honest.
